- Stir in the apples and cook for 3-5mins.
- Add the blackberries and cinnamon and cook for another 3mins.
- Cover with a lid and remove from the heat to sit for another few minutes while you make the topping.
- Add the sugar, flour and butter to a mixing bowl.
- At this point you can also add the optional ingredients which I highly recommend!
